Washington, July 29.President Wilson and Secretary Bryan devoted themselves to a study of the volumi nous reports at their disposal of con ditious in Mexico. Indications were that with the appearance before the Senate committee on Foreign Rela tions tomorrow of Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson, the last stage in the programme of the administration to discover the facts of the situation be fore announcing a policy would be reached. While a resolution in the House called for a joint committee to obtain documents in the Mexican situation. and another in the Senate sought the opinion of that body on thg-question of recognizing the belligerency of the constitutionalists; administration- orfi cials again declared : there would be no haste in formulating a definite poli cy toward Mexico. Secretary isryan stated that no proposition for mediation had been submitted to either of the two . fa tions in Mexico, and incidentally re marked that -he might go back to the lecture platform-in a' few days. The present condition of - affairs is not considered acute here. The development -of a policy by the Vnited States maybe delayed to ob serve the outcome' of. "efforts being made by leading Mexicans. tO r.bring about an understanding ..between- the two warring factions. ; . , - Policy Prooosed " Some administration-, offictatefefrT' proposed that iheAateTiai:,poucy; be pursued alSfig" a; suoCfe'sslrtHia ores: First, they suggest the. United states snouid retrain irom mtener fnce while the Mexican' leaders them selves ejideavor to compose their dif ferences. The attitude of the United States against recognizing the Huerta administration already is being out lined in Mexico, according to reports here, as indicating that the abdicat ing of Huerta in favor of a compro mise provisional president is inevita ble. Second, should all efforts 'by the Mexicans to adjust the dispute fail, it is proposed by influential members of the Senate, that the embargo. on arms be lifted and 'the two factions be permitted to obtain munitions of ar on an equality,-. Some Senators freely predict a decisive result in Quick time under those conditions. Third, Should peace be delayed, the suggestion is that the United States offer to mediate through a commis sion. Fourth, as a last resort, it is sug gested that a tri-partite commission composed of representatives of the Lnited States and Latin-American na tions could endeavor to bring about a settlement by peaceful means.

Tomorrow the Senate Investigating Committee will turn, its attention to . examination of Mulhall, and attorneys for the association and, for the Ameri can Federation of Labor, also involved in the correspondence, - will begin cross-examination. Members of the committee will at-.- tempt to strengthen Mulhall' s story. of his political-activities in -Washington and throughout the. country while the attorneys will endeavor to break it down. Questions by the lawyers under the committee's rule will. be. filtered- to the witness through its chairman. Robert McCarter counsel for tie as sociation, has about 250 questions 'he wishes to ask the witness; Attorney Jackson H. Ralston, for the American Federation of Labor, -has- prepared about 100, more, and no one knows how many separate - questions members of the committee will, submit to Mulhall before he is allowed to quit the . wit-'. ness chair in the Senate wing of the -papitol, and face the . special House committee that is eagerly awaiting his appearance across the 'rotunda. - Mulhall's last ; day as an Identifier of letters proved the most exciting of liis,two weeks. oh. the; stands' He was,; called a": "liar."f and VtaiackmaHeri'.T bjr ;Martty;l4er,. . get' Chairman Wilson?- ot' th , Ldabp, cemmittee-tnterested. in xm story ft is now . telling and that . apeftuer uiark and Minority Leader- Mann, of the House, had turned dowdrim opportun ity to conduct an investigation of his activities.

Mulhall made the. statement when h was niipstlnnpd ahout trin to- Chi cago in April, 1912, to help McDermott in the primaries. He .said, Harold. F . McCormick, son-in-law." of John D. Rockefeller, had promised to contri bute $250 to the McDermott campaign. He said McCormick mad out a check to him for this amount bjii that he did not receive it until-after he re turned to Baltimore. cashed this check in Baltimore, but later the bank there and the One in Chicago on which it was drawn, informed liim that a duplicate bearing hiB-;Blgnature had been .honored also.

One of the last letters ; put In the record was dated May 26th 1813, and addressed to Former Rifipresentative James-E. - Watson, of Indiana.: whom Mulhall . frequently during, the - Inquiry has mentioned in terma from flat tering. In this letter: MtilhfrH asked Watson to interest hinjslf with D. M. Parry, former president, of the as sociation in his behalf: Iwas' only a few days later that the- flehate com mittee started its lobby investigation and that he began to negotiate for the disposal of his correspondence. : After he left the organization Mul hall wrote letters indicating! an inten tion to fight James A r lUnery, Wash ington counsel for association, and J.
